Europe’s space industry gathers at ESA
ESA welcomed a record 1700 visitors from 800 companies and institutions to its Industry Space Days event on 28–29 September at ESTEC, its technical centre in The Netherlands. It is a place where industry can meet and share their ideas for new emerging uses of space and commercial potential.
Commercialisation of space is one of the top priorities in ESA’s strategy, described in Agenda 2025. Speaking to a packed hall, ESA’s Director General, Josef Aschbacher, opened the event highlighting the vibrant and booming global space economy and his intention to strengthen European industry through the next Council Meeting at Ministerial Level (CM22) in November.
